The gift giving season is upon us and I’m here today to share a few ideas to help you dress up those packages. I’m obsessed with gold…. I really thought this phase would pass and I’d already be onto something else but I think it’s here to stay a bit.

Let’s start with my favorite package

Supplies used: white wrapping paper, gold dot tissue paper, gold thread , mini bottle brush tree, wood cut greetings and a banner. (I cut mine from the silhouette) Other than the Silhouette , I found all supplies at my local Target.

This little package is simple and a little more sophisticated. Gold stripes will do that:) I am quickly becoming obsessed with these itty bitty boxwood wreaths. (I’ll be sharing a quick video how-to on those later this week. They are the perfect addition to these little presents and the “real” texture is such an fun little surprise! Supplies: Gold striped wrapping paper | metallic embroidery thread | American Crafts date stamp for the happy holiday greeting | Fresh Boxwood sprigs for mini wreaths

Grab a greeting stamp and some gold ink and stamp your own wrapping paper. Top it off with some ribbon and a mini ornament. Simple and quick! Supplies used: white wrapping paper | Encore metallic stamp pad in gold | gold ornaments from target | stamps from inspirationave

I’m always on the look out for little elements to add to my stash and when I saw these little wooden snowflakes I knew they’d be perfect. Layered on some gold confetti and tied with some ribbon.

Supplies used: gold polka dot paper unknown | wooden snowflake – target | Gold shred | Gold ribbon from Joanns

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you leave with a few ideas for your holiday gift wrapping. Hugs to you all. Amy 

I’m back today with a little something to say thanks for all the love. So many kind words of encouragement as I start this new adventure and I thought there is no better way to say Thanks than with a GIVEAWAY. Leave me a comment and say Hi. I will be choosing a winner Friday! Woot!! You will receive everything you see in this picture. A little note stamp set (available in my shop) misc. paper goods and all packaged in a little bag with my logo. I think you will enjoy this little set. So versatile!

As I was skimming through pinterest one evening I came across this Quote “By Doing what you Love, You Inspire & Awaken the hearts of others.”  It stopped me. I loved it! I knew it had to be a part of my new website. There are so many crazy talented people out there that have done this for me. Inspired me, made me so excited to create something I couldn’t think about doing anything else. 🙂 So I thought I would share with you all a little project that is easy to make and the perfect addition to your space. There isn’t much to this. 1. Cut the file with your cutting machine. 2. Lightly watercolor over the text to create a pop of color. 3. Hang on your inboard or frame 🙂 And if you have purchased the new Minc yet…. just go ahead and use this file to create a little foiled artwork. I think I’ll be doing that tonight!

You can get the Inspire download free in mySHOP! Just add to your cart but you will not be charged! It’s the perfect reminder to never give up what you are passionate about. Whatever that may be it’s meant to be shared.

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

XOXO, Amy
